Keywords:	Child protection

Citation:	No. 1
Notes:	This monograph begins by indicating that children often experience domestic violence as “silent witnesses”. A concise summary of the literature from Australia and the US concerning the links between child abuse and domestic violence, perpetrators, and the effects of violence and abuse on women and children is provided. Case management approaches that include holistic assessments of the family and that attribute responsibility for the violence with the perpetrator are promoted. It is suggested that “a genuine alliance with the non-abusing mother” be established in order to properly protect the child. The monograph highlights the importance of collaborative and coordinated responses that incorporate clear, strong, social and legal sanctions.
